Obsessed: Rodial Candles

Its no secret that I love a good candle. I always have to have more than one dotted around the house and I cant remember the last time I had a bath without one burning but I'm really picky when it comes to scents.﻿ I'm not the biggest fan of floral, I think the only floral candle I own is Yankee Candles Sweet Pea. I usually go for sweet/foody or clean scents and I cant have anything too overpowering or synthetic or I'll end up with the worst headaches but at the same time I expect to be able to smell the scent when I walk into a room.

After having a good nose around the Debenhams website, perving at all the make up items I want but dont need I came across Rodial candles. Rodial is a brand I've never really been too interested in mostly because of the scandal that surrounded their crazy skin care claims a while back and because its quite a pricey brand. The usual price of Rodial candles is £45 but in the Debenhams sale they were reduced to £10 so I decided to give them a try. The two scents I went for are Rehab - roasted almond & honey milk and Lounge - honeycomb & vanilla.

The packaging of the candles is gorgeous.Mirrored silver surrounded by thick glass with Rodial written in white. The candles also come boxed and would make really great (expensive) gifts. I'm sure you've already guessed by the title of this post that I. Love. Them!

Both scents are sweet and creamy but not sickly, fill a room without being overpowering, dont cause headaches, dont smell synthetic, dont flicker or smoke and they last for ages. I think I read the burn time for each candle is 60 hours. Even when the candles arent lit they still throw out some scent. I cant even explain how much I love these but I went straight back on the Debenhams website and ordered another three while they're at £10. I plan on keeping one of each 'for show' in my room. Yes I know I'm sad but they look soooooo pretty!

Have you tried Rodial candles before? If you have a spare tenner burning a hole in your pocket then get yourself to Debenhams before they shoot back upto £45.

I bought one of these(rehab) in the sale a while ago and then they went out of stock! So happy you posted this because ive been wanting to get more, £10 is such a bargain! Me and my mum just bought 5 aha.

They're on sale on a few different sites but the cheapest I can find them apart from Debenhams is 22 quid on ASOS. They're gorgeous candles arent they. Did you order Socialite? I havent tried that one but I'm tempted to order it.xo
